X's & O's [2.14.2010]

This post is about Love. The problem becomes bigger when what you know to be Love has been shaped or even warped by something that you went through. So I could go into the lovely sides of love and drip it with X's, and O's, Hearts and Chocolate, Diamonds and Gifts, Teddy Bears and Hallmark Cards...but does any of that last?

In the end, don't we want a love that will last? With Divorce being so HUGE today...aren't we sick of the temporary? Have we had enough?

Most of you already know that there is a love offered to you, for free, but if you didn't...it's true, and it's long lasting. This love will never toss you aside, like you will when that card is thrown away. This love will not hinge on buying things, like that diamond necklace would. This love will cannot be quenched, this love brings a high that cannot be brought down, this love is more comforting, more exciting, more blissful, more enticing, more dependent, more inviting, more trustful, it's worth fighting!

This love is not something you have to earn. You don't have to get all dressed up and look nice, you come as you are. You don't have to act different, you come as you are. No need to feel guilty, ashamed or regretful, This love heals all wounds, it allows you to start over.

This love is found in only one place. Jesus. Our love is fragile, temporary, and imperfect. His love...lasts forever. And he want to share that love with you. WITH ALL HIS HEART, he wants to share that with you. It is my mission that you know that about Him. Read Luke, in the Bible, to know JUST what he did for us....because he loves us. If you want to know anymore about THIS love, contact me @ ericlukepeterson@gmail.com.

Many celebrate this upcoming Holiday as a Hallmark Special. I say we turn it around. I say we take this day, Feb. 14th, and think on how MUCH he loves us. Ideally, we should be doing this everyday, and we think about it most on Easter and Christmas. But I feel like adding another day for all of us to think about it. Much Love this Feb 14th, and let's thank God, for the Love he gives. Amen?
